Global Voices: Who We Are

"Even in a hyper-connected world, the loudest and most privileged voices tend to be heard the most... Global Voices is a powerful counter-weight, a force for diversity, complexity, and humility... Only by hearing a much wider range of global voices can we ever approximate truth." (Anne-Marie Slaughter, Princeton University) [the revolution will not be tweeted] "Does @globalvoices qualify for a Pulitzer? If not they should, for outstanding coverage of world events." (Ory Okolloh, co-founder, Ushahidi) "They have managed to inspire, cultivate and connect a global vanguard of social-media-savvy activists." [who is afraid of Twitter?] Transnational networks of Arab bloggers that formed around GV were integral to Arab Spring, and this is just one part of GV’s global footprint." (John Kelly, Morningside Analytics) "The Internet is now an essential pillar of our open society and Global Voices is a key guardian." (Joi Ito, Director, MIT Media Lab) Everyone I've ever met who works there has endless passion and like the organization itself has a conscience I admire." (Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, Al-Jazeera The Stream) "Global Voices has created a unique and essential home for bloggers and citizen journalists from all around the world - a place to connect, collect, protect and filter what is really going on." (Peter Gabriel, musician and activist)
